Carnival Corp. Awarded $24 Million in Propulsion System Lawsuit

Carnival Corp. was awarded $24 million on Jan. 5 in its lawsuit against Rolls-Royce stemming from problems with the pod propulsion system on Cunard’s Queen Mary 2.

Carnival confirmed that the Miami jury awarded $16 million for eight counts of fraud and $8 million for breach of repair warranties. “Carnival Corp & plc is very pleased with the jury’s verdict and thanks them for their outstanding service in this important case,” the company said.

The Associated Press said the verdict was made after a two-week federal trial. Carnival sued Rolls-Royce for $100 million in 2008, saying the propulsion system broke down more frequently and required repairs more often than advertised. For more information, visit www.carnivalcorp.com.
